Conor McGregor Says He's Open to Career in Politics And a Rematch with Floyd!

“The Notorious” might be “Minister McGregor” in a matter of years … ’cause Conor McGregor tells TMZ Sports he’s open to a career in politics!

We got Conor chillin’ in NYC with his GF, Dee Devlin … and the UFC mega-star was positively giddy when we asked him about potentially running for office — something he teased on social media earlier this week.

“Maybe, who knows?! I know they’re shakin’ in their boots anyway!!” Conor said.

He was clearly in a joking mood, but Conor seemed dead serious is his cryptic message criticizing the Irish government.

There’s more … when our guy tried (emphasis on “tried”) asking about a fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov … McGregor immediately brought up Floyd Mayweather, saying he “needs to fight again.”
